Movie Screening and Discussion: I'm Not Racist...Am I?

  • Lexington High School, Auditorium 251 Waltham Street Lexington, MA, 02421 United States (map)

Not talking about racism won’t make it go away. The middle and high school PTOs are excited to present a free community screening and moderated discussion of the documentary I’m Not Racist...Am I? in support of the district’s ongoing work on DEI (diversity, equality, and inclusion). We hope this film will spark curiosity, conversations, and connections that empower our community to make positive systemic changes. Middle and high school faculty will be viewing and discussing the film during an upcoming professional development day, and the March 25 screening will be an opportunity for parents, students, and the broader community to join the conversation about how to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our schools, our town, and our own lives.

I’m Not Racist… Am I? is a feature documentary about how this next generation is going to confront racism. The filmmakers asked 12 teenagers from New York City to come together for one school year to talk about race and privilege in a series of workshops and in conversations with friends and family members. They hope that by documenting their experience, the film will inspire others to recognize and interrupt racism in their own lives.
